Pool Noodle Hook Keeper

Post by bman »

I switch up lures a lot and have been frustrated with extra jig heads or lures bouncing off the center console.
I have a cup holder with hook keeper spots but it has proven to not be a secure way to store them.

I took a section of pool noodle - blue to match the boat ;-) - and zip tied it to the top rail on the center console.

Its holding up well and they hooks don't bounce off like when I hooked them on the cup holder ;-)

I noticed that in the pictures of your last post. I made a mental note and supposed it was pool noodle. Great idea! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I saw that in your earlier trip pics. I saw something similar years ago, but it had been on the boat awhile and it looked like it was shredding bad, so plan on changing often. Good idea! :thumbup:
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

What goes around, comes around. :lol:

Salt Water Sportsman covered the pool noodle hook-keeper idea years ago in Sportsman's Workbench. There's no end to angling gadgets using PVC too. But it's always good to see handy tips getting recycled.

I used to pre-tie leaders of different lengths for quicker change outs & used the noodle to keep them in check. Hadn't done it lately though. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm figuring they wont last more than a season.
But for $1 each at the dollar store it will be the least expensive part of my annual maintenance :smt107
